Worried your pet might run off if the door is left ajar? Microchips are a permanent form of identification that help reunite pet owners with their pets. Microchips are placed under the skin, and when scanned at a veterinary clinic or shelter, the pet owner's information is available. To know more about the microchipping procedure, call us at 519-360-4508.

How is a microchip inserted?

The procedure is similar to getting a vaccination or a blood test. Your pet won't notice anything but a slight pinch when the injection containing the microchip is inserted.

Does the microchip transmit a signal for tracking?

No, the microchip is not a GPS-enabled device. You cannot use it to track your pet. The microchip is RFID-enabled and contains only your contact information which is available once your pet is scanned at an animal shelter or veterinary clinic.

Do I need to replace the microchip after some time?

No, you don't need to replace it at any point in your pet's life. Once inserted, it can be used for a lifetime.
